About the journal
The Journal of Building Performance Simulation ( JBPS) is the official journal of the International Building Performance Simulation Association ( IBPSA ). IBPSA is a non-profit international society of computational building performance simulation researchers, developers, practitioners and users, dedicated to improving the design, construction, operation and maintenance of new and existing buildings worldwide.
The JBPS is an international refereed journal, publishing only articles of the highest quality that are original, cutting-edge, well-researched and of significance to the international community. The journal also publishes original review papers and researched case studies of international significance.
The wide scope of JBPS embraces research, technology and tool development related to building performance modelling and simulation, as well as their applications to design, operation and management of the built environment. This includes modelling and simulation aspects of building performance in relation to other research areas such as building physics, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, control engineering, facility management, architecture, ergonomics, psychology, physiology, computational engineering, information technology and education. The scope of topics includes the following:
- Theoretical aspects of building performance modelling and simulation.
- Methodology and application of building performance simulation for any stage of design, construction, commissioning, operation or management of buildings and the systems which service them.
- Uncertainty, sensitivity analysis, calibration, and optimization.
- Methods and algorithms for performance optimization of building and the systems which service them.
- Methods and algorithms for software design, validation, verification and solution methods.
All articles published in JBPS have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Building Performance Simulation considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that
- the manuscript is your own original work, and does not duplicate any other previously published work, including your own previously published work.
- the manuscript has been submitted only to the Journal of Building Performance Simulation ; it is not under consideration or peer review or accepted for publication or in press or published elsewhere.
- the manuscript contains nothing that is abusive, defamatory, libellous, obscene, fraudulent, or illegal.
Please note that the Journal of Building Performance Simulation uses CrossCheck™ software to screen manuscripts for unoriginal material. By submitting your manuscript to the Journal of Building Performance Simulation you are agreeing to any necessary originality checks your manuscript may have to undergo during the peer-review and production processes.
Any author who fails to adhere to the above conditions will be charged with costs which the Journal of Building Performance Simulation incurs for their manuscript at the discretion of the Journal of Building Performance Simulation ’s Editors and Taylor & Francis, and their manuscript will be rejected.
This journal is compliant with the Research Councils UK OA policy. Please see the licence options and embargo periods here .
Conference papers: The Journal of Building Performance Simulation welcomes submissions that are expansions of papers that have been presented at IBPSA regional and international conferences, and at other venues. However, the Journal of Building Performance Simulation will not publish papers that have been previously published in conference proceedings; rather, such Journal of Building Performance Simulation submissions must be expansions of the works presented at the conference. Conference papers typically report a work-in-progress, preliminary results, or a component of an overall contribution. In contrast, it is expected that Journal of Building Performance Simulation articles will make a lasting contribution to the literature by making a complete presentation of a work, including a full review of the state-of-the-art and the presentation of definitive results. Some duplication of text, tables, and figures from the conference paper is acceptable, but all material should be revised and updated to ensure completeness. If IBPSA does not hold copyright to your conference paper you may have to obtain permission from the copyright holder to reuse figures and tables. Authors submitting manuscripts that are expansions of conference papers should clearly state this at the time of submission. Furthermore, they should include a PDF of the conference paper with their submission as well as a detailed account of how the conference paper has been expanded.
1. General guidelines
- Manuscripts are accepted in English. Oxford English Dictionary spelling and punctuation are preferred. Please use single quotation marks, except where ‘a quotation is “within” a quotation’. Long quotations of 40 words or more should be indented without quotation marks.
- A typical manuscript will not exceed 10000 words (including references, captions, footnotes and endnotes) and short notes should be no longer 4000 words. Authors preparing longer papers are advised to contact the editors to ensure the length is appropriate. Authors should include a word count with their manuscript.
- Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page (including Acknowledgements as well as Funding and grant-awarding bodies); abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Abstracts of 100-150 words are required for all manuscripts submitted.
- Each manuscript should have 3 to 6 keywords .
- Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here .
- Section headings should be concise.
- All authors of a manuscript should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the corresponding author. Please give the affiliation where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted. Please note that the email address of the corresponding author will normally be displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal style) and the online article.
- All persons who have a reasonable claim to authorship must be named in the manuscript as co-authors; the corresponding author must be authorized by all co-authors to act as an agent on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript, and the order of names should be agreed by all authors.
- Biographical notes on contributors are not required for this journal.
- Please supply all details required by any funding and grant-awarding bodies as an Acknowledgement on the title page of the manuscript, in a separate paragraph, as follows:
